in early spring, the flower stalks rise well above the plant for a lovely
show.

Silver bush lupine was reintroduced onto Kaweah Oaks Preserve in the
Elderberry Mitigation area during the spring of 2001 by two devoted supporters,
Greg and Karen Kirkpatrick. This is a beautiful California native, indigenous
to this valley oak forest. You must come and see how the silvery leaves
sparkle in the sunshine. We are looking forward to the species making a
strong comeback. This variety of lupine becomes quite a large shrub, so
the blooming season is very showy.
